We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has many interfaces and you can connect to any backend source that has another format, and convert it to the desired format.""Message Broker is valuable because most of the applications are using MQ. Even in my current engagement, the few applications which I audit to onboard the bank are using MQ.""Integration and mapping are easy, which is a major advantage.""Straightforward development and deployment.""The most valuable feature of IBM WebSphere Message Broker is the ability to facilitate communication with legacy systems, offering a multitude of great capabilities. For example, if there is a mainframe system in place with a web service serving as the front end. In that case, the solution enables efficient protocol transformations to convert all request payloads into a format that the legacy systems can accept, rendering the integration and transformation processes seamless and highly effective.""The documentation, performance, stability and scalability of the tool are valuable.""Performance-wise, this solution is really good.""The solution has good integration."

"Oracle integrates well with other products to cover Big Data.""WebCenter's interface is very user-friendly.""A great solution for storing and searching large volumes of documents with easy access.""It's a very scalable solution and the performance is pretty good. The scalability, in my opinion, is the biggest advantage.""You can move workloads in between sub-servers so that you don't overload a portion of the server.""Integration within the solution is very good.""The WebCenter Content is its most valuable feature. After we update a document in WebCenter Content, it can be update automatically in our intranet."

Cons
"Technical support is very slow and needs to be improved.""Stability and pricing are areas with shortcomings that need improvement.""The solution can add container engines such as docker.""Technical support is good but they could have a better response time.""There is some lag in the GUI. There have been some performance issues and maybe it's because of the application data.""The installation configuration is quite difficult.""Today I probably wouldn't go for Message Broker because of the cost structure, support, and the whole ecosystem around IBM.""It is currently a weighty product."

"There are many document management systems that offer pretty much the same functionalities but at a lower price. The product as such is pretty good. However, the pricing is not comparable. They need to adjust their pricing to be more competitive on the market.""I would like them to add more Web 2.0 features.""This solution needs to support translation into the Arabic language.""Its functions need more stability.""WebCenter requires a lot of design effort to upload content to our regular system.""Does not seem to be totally compatible with Windows 10 as of our current version.""The speed of the backup should be enhanced.""The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product."
